Route 59 in Scrambling in Snowdonia. GR:806 535. On East Flank of Snowdon'south ridge. Left to right face consists of triangular buttress, left-slanting Shadow Gully, four buttresses that soon peter out into broken ground, a narrow gully that opens out into a wide broken scoop, then a big rubbly face. The route roughly follows the narrow gully to the foot of a black slot, dodges this on the right, then regains the gully above to finish up the scoop. Most of the nasty bits can be avoided.

βeta: If you follow one of the guidebooks to the point near to the base of the capped chimney, the escape route out to the right may prove harder than attempting the "satisfying water run runnel" to the left. Escape route is either slimy green rock, incredibly chossy stone or slippery grass, depending on which limb you are looking at. The clean water run rock is very grippy in approach shoes by comparison, though there is little protection if roped up, bar a cam placement at the foot of the wall on the right as you meet the crux move in the runnel. Grass may have invaded that placement by the time you read this, I get the feeling not many pass this way...
